PodCamp Portrait

Every so often I get a picture that makes me stop, pause and smile because something about it really hits a nerve with me. This one of Alicia Kenworthy from PodCamp Montreal certainly did.

Granted, it doesn’t hurt to have a beautiful subject to start, but I’m a fan of the simple realities of people. The […]

The Advance Guard Marches Forward

I spent a lot of time this week thinking about the fact that The Advance Guard has made it through our first year in business.
On one side, it feels like forever since Steve and I sat in that little diner in NJ and came up with the name and on the other it seems like […]

A Photography Milestone For Me

I love taking photos. It is a passion that has been in my blood ever since I watched my grandfather develop a photo in his dark room growing up. It is something that I love to do and love that I’m getting better at it.

So, opening up the October 2nd issue of Rolling Stone and […]

Reflective Fall Morning

I spent the weekend in Montreal meeting a lot of great people at PodCamp Montreal. If you are curious for more details, I talked about it on yesterday’s Managing the Gray.

This picture taken by the extremely talented Marko Kulik captures Mitch Joel and I during our session. I love photos that capture the energy of […]

MTG #60 - PodCamp Montreal Reflections

Managing the GrayTM today collected my thoughts on my weekend at PodCamp Montrel and my heart felt excitement for what Akoha is up to. Plus I’m giving away a few decks of Akoha cards to my international listeners.

Mitch Joel Energy

I’m sitting at Mitch Joel’s desk and I feel it would be a waste of the energy in the room if I didn’t blog about it.
I arrived at Twist Image this morning after flying up to beautiful Montreal. They’ve just moved into some new space so they are still getting set up. We had quite […]

Boston -> Montreal

Writing this at 3:30 am over a bowl of stale Frosted Flakes isn’t the best way to write a blog post. Of course, I didn’t know they were stale until I took my first spoonful and at that point I’m not going to throw them away because that is just a waste. Thinking about it […]

My Omnivore Hundred

I first heard about The VGT Omnivore’s Hundred from my buddy Julien Smith and being a guy who loves to try new foods it instantly peaked my interest.
The concept is simple, someone put together a list of 100 different foods they think you must try in your lifetime. The ones that are bolded I have […]

Twittering on NPR

So I guess I was on NPR last night. It sounds funny to say that, but I got home from taking the kids to swimming lessons and had a bunch of Twitter messages and e-mails saying “congrats on NPR” and I had no idea what it was about.
Turns out that an interview I did about […]

Cooking to Get Lucky

Those of you who know me, know that I love to cook. I’ve joked more then once that I try to keep Laura out of the kitchen because I enjoy the fun of cooking and have my whole life. It is fun that now the kids (especially Emily) are getting into cooking as well. I’m […]

Chefs, Cupcakes & Fatty Crabs

Before I headed to the airport last night (which took WAY to long and cost way to much) I sat down with my friend Chef Mark for a great meet at the Fatty Crab and then we headed over to Magnolia’s Bakery for my first of their world famous cupcakes. He captured it on video […]

Spore

Anyone who follows virtual worlds or gaming in any fashion has heard of the game Spore since it has been “coming soon” for several years now.
Last night I finally installed it on the computer and found myself spending a couple of blurry eyed early morning hours today in Pittsburgh Airport playing it. I’m still just […]

Don’t Quit Lessons for Sons in a Digital World

Being a Dad has always come with a whole bunch of challenges. That is part of being a parent.
Last night Dylan was complaining that he had gotten stuck on a video game he was playing and he wanted to start over from the beginning. We had a talk about how this was quitting and I […]
